I recently started rewatching Serial Experiments: Lain and realized that it’s the perfect watch for a hot summer night: It’s chill, eerie and matches the summer night vibe perfectly.
What’s your favorite anime for hot summer nights and why?
It’s winter for me at the moment but I adore Call of the Night for the wild midnight vibes and also Insomniacs after Dark cause it’s cozy as.
Call of the Night - the whole show is just pure vibes, and it portrays the nighttime in a unique way. Watching it after it gets dark enhances the experience. It’s even better if you have a thing for vampires
Besides the obvious “summer” theming, I really liked The Summer Hikaru Died for being one of the only horror manga to still be good once made into an anime.
I discovered Inuyasha only because I find it hard to sleep when its hot and it would play on Adult Swim at like 2am. The filler episodes are usually chill, and there are a lot of them. My favorites are the ones focused on Shippo.
